Chapter 22 Radio

Du Fei caught it with both hands and immediately felt the heavy weight. This little guy probably weighed twenty-five or six kilograms, which was probably heavier than two ordinary domestic cats.

Du Fei raised an animal for the first time in two lifetimes. He stroked Xiaowu's back hair. It was fluffy and warm. The feeling was invincible!

At this moment, he suddenly understood why some people became addicted to petting cats.

Once you get into it, you really can’t put it down!

But at this time, I don't know if it was because Du Fei's hand was too strong, but the little bird made a "meow" sound, and there was a feeling of dissatisfaction.

Du Fei didn't pay attention, instead he smiled, turned his hand and lifted Xiaowu's chin and gently tickled it.

This time, the cat that was staring at it immediately narrowed its eyes with an expression of enjoyment, and the unpleasant mood disappeared.

"I can't cure you, little one." Du Fei secretly laughed in his heart, and hugged Xiaowu and stroked her hard for a while, but he began to worry about giving Xiaowu something to eat.

Looking at Xiaowu's physique, he curled up into a ball of flesh as big as a basin, so he must eat a lot every day.

In this era, there was no such thing as cat food. If there were cats and dogs at home, they would just feed them some leftovers.

"Why don't you go to the canteen tomorrow and tell Aunt Qian that you can pay an additional ten cents a day and bring Xiaowu a meal."

Du Fei thought as he put down the cat and went out to wash the handles and start cooking.

At noon, I went out by bicycle twice in the afternoon. Du Fei was also a little hungry now, so he happened to have some rice just bought.

I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but the night before he traveled through time, he went to a restaurant to have a meal of rice, and he always felt it was more delicious than rice in later generations.

Without a rice cooker, Du Fei did very little cooking by himself, so it was impossible to cook rice directly in a big pot, otherwise there would be nothing left except rice cakes.

According to the memory of my predecessor, whether steaming rice or sorghum rice, I always put the aluminum lunch box directly into the steamer.

Du Fei painted a gourd and painted a lunch box, washed the rice and steamed it.

He originally wanted to steam the rice on the pot and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some food. Except for the half jar of pickles, there was not even a single Chinese cabbage at home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, the cold wind hit my face with snowflakes, and now it was actually snowing!

This is the first snow since winter began in Beijing this year.

Du Fei immediately backed down because he really didn't want to go all the way in the wind and snow to go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I simply went back and dug out half a green onion, fried it in some green onion oil later, and ate the pickles and rice with the green onion oil. It seemed quite fragrant.

While the rice was being steamed, Du Fei made himself a cup of tea, and while drinking the tea, he picked up the little black cat and played with it.

For a while, drinking tea leisurely and petting the cat was actually very pleasant.

However, for Du Fei, this beautiful life of drinking tea and playing with cats was quite novel at first, but after a while it became a bit boring.

The house was too deserted, with only the sound of the wind blowing outside the window and the sound of steaming rice on the stove.

Before Du Fei traveled through time, he had already developed the habit of turning on the TV when he got home. No matter whether he was watching or not, he always wanted to listen to the sound.

Now his house doesn't even have a radio, let alone a TV.

"Why don't you buy a radio tomorrow?" Du Fei came up with this idea and suddenly remembered that the original owner also had a radio in his house earlier.

Although radios are not cheap, they are still cheaper than bicycles, and radio tickets are not as rare as bicycle tickets.

More importantly, buying a radio and putting it at home is not like riding a bicycle every day to show off.

So relatively speaking, there are not many people who have radios at home. The three uncles in the courtyard, including Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, all have radios.

The original owner also had an old-fashioned radio in his house.

It broke two years ago, and I went to the factory electrician to repair it but couldn't fix it. I didn't buy a new one after that.

Thinking of this, Du Fei rummaged through the box and found the old radio hidden at the bottom of the box.

Although it was broken, the radio was definitely a valuable item in this era. It was impossible to throw it away. It was wrapped in newspapers and placed in a box.

This old-fashioned tube radio is quite big, weighing more than twenty kilograms.

Du Fei took it out and put it on the table, then took off the wrapped newspaper.

The whole solid wood shell has two large metal knobs protruding from the black glass panel. At first glance, it seems to be 70% to 80% new!

In fact, it’s no wonder that supplies were scarce at this time, and everything people used was expensive.

In order to reduce the loss of the radio, the third uncle's family was reluctant to turn the knob to change the channel, and only listened to one channel all year round.

Therefore, many things have been used until they are no longer usable, and they still look like new ones.

Du Fei found this radio, although it wasn't that evil, but it could be seen that it had been carefully maintained. Unfortunately, as it got older, it kept getting worse.

I found a screwdriver and opened the back cover of the radio.

After being there for so many years, a thick layer of dust accumulated inside.

I reached out and touched the wires inside. The plastic cover was all aged and hard to the touch. When I folded it with a little force, a white mark appeared.

Du Fei frowned when he saw this.

After aging like this, the repair value of this radio may not be very high.

However, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, and he plans to take it to a professional maintenance center tomorrow to have a look.

When the radio broke down, the original owner's father only took it to the factory to show it to an electrician. The electrician tinkered with it for a long time and then said it couldn't be repaired.

Du Fei knew that working as an electrician in a factory was completely different from repairing household appliances.

But if the masters who specialize in electrical repair say no, he can only consider buying a new one.

Du Fei made up his mind and put the radio into his pocket while thinking about where to find a radio repairman tomorrow. Not many people could repair electrical appliances these days.

However, to his surprise, when the radio entered the space, the blue light rotating around the light ball suddenly trembled.

Du Fei was suddenly startled and quickly took out the radio, frowning and wondering what was going on.

Thinking about the changes before and after Xiao Wu was put into the space and absorbed the white light, Du Fei couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Could it be said that this kind of blue light absorbed from the snuff bottle can repair or upgrade certain items?"

Thinking of this, he immediately brought a knocked-off rice bowl and put it into his portable space.

Sure enough! The blue light was activated again and trembled slightly.

This undoubtedly verified Du Fei's guess.

Taking out the broken bowl and putting the radio into the space, Du Fei thought aloud and guided the blue light into the radio.

Then a cocoon of blue light enveloped the radio.

But this time, Du Fei just wanted the radio to work. He didn't want to be like Xiaowu, who suddenly upgraded from a sick cat to a little leopard. What if he received some foreign frequency bands and was caught as an enemy agent?

Crying about injustice everywhere.

Although he is very clumsy, Du Fei can confirm that his thoughts can control the white light ball and the attached blue light belt in the portable space.

Sure enough, according to his wishes, the blue light cocoon surrounding the radio quickly converged and once again turned into a streak and returned to the light ball.

Comparing before and after, this blue light band has been consumed by about a quarter.
